Current Libby library books I have checked out. I try to read in order of due date, because I have lots of stress in my life now, so only easy reads are calling me. In particular I want to read Joe Victim next. It‘s the sequel to New Zealand crime novel The Cleaner, narrated largely by Joe, the cleaner, a psychopathic serial killer, which I just finished, and couldn‘t put down. Checked out Joe Victim minutes after finishing The Cleaner.

Tanisha_A Hope you feel stress-free soon! 🎈 5y
Liz_M You're including D. McCullough in "light reads"? ? 5y
arubabookwoman @Liz_M oh no. That‘s one of the books with the earlier due date that I‘m skipping over to get to the crime novels. It may end up going back to the library unread along with most of the others. 5y
kspenmoll I get it- under stress I go to easy reading mysteries for escapism. Hope the stress in your life eases! 5y

Today's edition of #socksunday means clean one room, do one load of laundry, read one chapter...and repeat. Really enjoying this tale of bad behavior combined with the immense wealth of the L'Oreal fortune. #nonfiction #AllTrueTalesOfTheRichAndFamous

Congratulations @TricksyTails on consuming your 666th soul. I hope it was devishly delicious.

My all time favorite #ratbastard would be Joe Middleton from Paul Cleaves, The Cleaner duology. You know an author has perfected his trade when he has the ability to make you love a sick twisted bastard such as my dear Joe.

This is my 3rd book of his and he does not disappoint. He has quickly become my go-to for a violent psychological thriller b/c: he's a great storyteller, messes with your head, knows how to develop a plot and characters, and he's darkly funny. The only thing that bothered me about this book was that Joe, the main character, reminded me so much of Joe from YOU w/ the ego, narcissism, & sociopathy that it was hard not to think of them as the same.
